Carpooled the other day with my Pro-Bush co-worker.
I knew that she was a dumbya fan and all because during the campaign she had a W'04 magnet outside her door and then she had a confrontation with one of the managers about dumbya. I saw her a few weeks ago with a dumbya mug in the coffee bar. So I knew she liked him. I carpooled with her for the first time yesterday, when I entered her office to ask if she was ready to go, she had up the Bush website. Yikes. The election is over right? Why would some people continue to view that website? Anyway, when we approached the car in the garage I saw the Bush/Cheney bumper sticker on her window. I knew it would be there.

I just wanted to let you all know that I rode in a car that had a Bush/Cheney sticker on it. It felt yucky!:-)

8. Just remember to keep calm
and take a long shower when you get home.

People like that won't listen to reason, best just to wash all the stupid off before it gets dry and crusty. :D

23. Very good point!
I'm getting too old and crusty myself to put up with much bullshit -- and I have to watch the blood pressure, dontchaknow. But it's also very nice to know that I can shower off the "stupid" if I scrub hard enough.

:D

9. I carpooled 4 Bush supporters
before the election. I think they wanted to die. I had a large Kerry yard sign in my front window, Kerry bumper sticker, Every child left behind,John Kerry..bringing complete sentences back to the white house, Somewhere in Texas a village is missing its idiot, If you aren't completely appalled, you haven't been paying attention. I didn't have to drive for like 3 months- really saved on gas.

11. I'll bet it felt yucky!
Yesterday I had a guy out helping me with some fence work. I found out he liked Bush**. Before he left he asked me what my sticker (Frodo Failed Bush Has The Ring) meant. I told him and said I do not like Bush**. His response was, "Yeah, I hear that alot." Was it enough to make him think? Nope, his church told him to vote that way. YUCKY

20. Did you happen to get the name of the church? Report it to the IRS
I'm not being facetious, it's the only way to stop the abuse of our democracy by these GOP christians.

21. No
I think he was on to me. Actually I doubt they said to vote for Bush**, they seem to be on to that too. I would imagine it was all implied. I would LOVE to report one of them.

12. I'd have walked, taken public transportation, biked, whatever
it took to avoid that situation, and told her why. :evilgrin:

19. I couldn't turn her down. Plus it saved me $
I like her, she is very nice. But I didn't dare start talking politics with her because I am a partisan Dem and I'm sure she's a partisan rep. We wouldn't change each other's minds. So why bother?

15. A repuke friend riding in my truck turned on the Rush Limbaugh show
a couple weeks before the election. I pulled over on the shoulder of the road and told him he could set his republican ass out the door and walk the rest of the way if he was gonna pull that crap.

16. You tell him!
Fortunately... it's good to live in the most liberal of all areas (Bay Area), where stuff like that rarely happens.

24. Next time ask if she'll show you where that cheap gas gas station is that
dumbya promised in 1999/2000. You know the cheap gas that would come about 'cuz he and bandar bush* his saudi half-brother are so tight all bush* had to do was "jawbone" him. I assumed that meant he just had to ask for cheaper oil, but maybe that's some born-again fundy dirty sex jargon that I would prefer not to know about.
